this little light of mine, i'm gonna let it shine...

I made sure to be at church today.

This was VBS Sunday and I wanted to see the children perform their songs and dances from "Discovery On Adventure Island".

I also wanted to be there to stand up when all the volunteers were asked to make themselves known for recognition. 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, that part didn't happen.

Instead, after the children's presentation, and after they left for Sunday school, we got a sermon about Pentecost. and the beginning of the split of the followers of Jesus from Judaism.

It was a good sermon, it truly was, but it didn't seem to fit with the songs about being a "Night Light" and encouraging others.

On my way home, I took a different route and saw Sonny Maness in his yard.

He and I had a brief romance my senior year of high school and still speak any time we see each other.

He's 71 now, and recently had a bad fall from his electric bike, so it was good to see him out and about.

He was doing what I did when I got home: mowing the yard before the rain.

I managed to get all of the front done before the Ryobi ran out of energy.

Good for me!

I finished up as the first drops of rain splattered around me!

After a bit, I decided to go to a movie.

Not just any movie, either.

I wanted one about light versus dark, good versus evil, and the thin line between.

"Sinners" was perfect.

As always, I stayed through all the credits for those few frames at the very end, those scenes with Miles Caton singing a bluesy version of "This Little Light Of Mine".

That song has always been dear to me, made even more so when my beloved Uncle Jimmy told me the song always reminded him of me and my bright outlook on life. 

Such a perfect finish for this rainy, bluesy, day.
